Reviews

From the reviews of the third edition: This is the third edition of a comprehensive book on bone densitometry. ! This compendium is essential for every clinician who routinely provides care and advice to patients who potentially could have bone demineralization. ! The author is a greatly respected clinician and researcher in bone densitometry. ! This is one of the seminal books on bone densitometry and should be in every medical library of teaching institutions and practitioners caring for and advising patients with potential bone demineralization. (Vincent F. Carr, Doody's Review Service, April, 2010) Recent advances in technology such as ultrasound and new data have led to a new edition of this practical book on advances in the application of bone densitometry. It has 16 chapters from technical to clinical application aspects. Useful also for pediatric endocrinologists. (Pediatric Endocrinology Reviews, Vol. 7 (4), June, 2010)
